Hellllooooo everyone. Well, I did 10 miles today! I walked, jogged and ran. Stopped at the grocery store to pee, LOL, and got a blister on one toe. But ya know what? I still did it. All the while I was out there, I kept thinking about all the advice and words of encouragement I get from all of you. That is the farthest I have ever gone in my life! I want to send out hugs to all from this Florida gal! We can do this! We are women, hear us roar! Thanks to the guys on the board, too. Drinks for everyone!
PrincessA: non-alcoholic for you and the baby, LOL
Cheers and thanks,
Cindy
Well, I've been pretty positive that us princesses can do just about anything (and overcome just about anything)... But the snow in the northeast has me stumped!!
Having grown up in Florida, I have no idea what to do with snow, even after 5 winters here. And this year is my first time having to figure out an outdoor running schedule in the winter.
What do you ladies do? I'm supposed to go for 12 tomorrow but am terrified of slipping and hurting myself in the snow/ice. I don't have treadmill access either. :-/
Should I just plan to wait for a warm front to come in and melt the snow? It's so pretty; but it's also cold and messing up my training plan. Can't wait to be in my home state again soon!!

I somehow never posted or subscribed to this thread. I guess I was so focused on finishing the Goofy that I neglected the Princess!
I did my first post-Goofy long run this morning. 9 miles on the treadmill because it was 11F outside and we had snow overnight. My biggest nightmare is slipping on the ice and getting injured!
I'm dragging my husband and 3 kids to the 5k (stroller division) and then we're doing the breakfast afterwards. Looking forward to my 1st Princess Half!!!

I was kinda of frustrated with today's run - it was 6.25 miles and took a good 8 minutes longer than usual for that distance. DH reminded me that it was only 8*F (thank goodness no wind at least) and that I should expect to be slower in those temps as my lungs apparently can't process the air as efficiently. I know he's right since I spent most of the run trying to decide which was making me walk more often than usual - feeling short of breath or the tired legs from running on the loosely packed snow - but it was still frustrating.
The day turned around though...I've still had it in my head to run as provincial Belle (blue dress) but just hadn't come up with how to make that work. Anyways, DD7 and I stopped at the sports store after her hockey game and guess what jumped off the rack (even better is was the clearance rack!) at us? A blue sports dress , we managed to easily find a white running shirt for underneath and voila
The apron is an old pillow case that I think I will cut to proper size and attach to my fuel belt somehow. This find totally made my day and I knew you would all understand
